Try It Tuesday ~ my space

Hi guys!
I thought i would share a few pictures of my space I
create in.  I'm blessed to have a room just for creating so
what that means I can start a project and leave it out

until it is completed.  Nothing is messed with!!!

This is an overview from inside the room.  I have three tables clustered
together.  One is for inking and stamping. Two is for painting and three is
cutting and my die cut machine.

This is where I stamp. I stand when I create so this set up
 works well for me.

The back cabinets hold more stamps and office supplies.  The counter is
full of stamps and stencils that I use frequently.  I love to see what I have
to create with!  With that said it does make the room look cluttered but
"it is what it is".  All of like items are stored together.  Paper, adhesive,
stamps, stencils and ink have their own space.   I organize by manufacture.
 

This is the view when I walk into the room.  The carts are loaded with
die cut dies and more inks, sprays and watercolors.  I keep small
embellishments in the vintage canning jars.  I really love the look!
I also use cigar boxes for storage of clips and ribbon.  I love using
 old things from the past for storage.  That way they can hang out with me.
Just sharing some ideas of how I keep organized, or at least I'm thinking
I'm organized.

Try It Tuesday~ a gift and a find!

Hi guys!

I have a couple of cool things to share ~one was a gift and the other a find.

Let me start with the gift~

Tones Bros. Des Moines, Iowa

I'm still thinking on this one. The lid is the best part:)

I love the idea of flowers, but that won't show off the lid. so I'm still thinking on this~

****************************

Remember this cupcake holder I found in Indiana~

I'm using it to hold my glitter.  Sometimes the glitter would get knocked over and land

 on the floor, so I'm hoping this will solve that problem.

The glitter still shines in the old salt & pepper containers.

  Small glass jars are ONE of my weaknesses:) 

I can always find a way to use cool items.  This is plastic and very retro

 looking to me.

I paid $5.

Thanks for stopping by for Try It Tuesday~

Stick pins and buttons~storage solution~

I know you want to say~well that is great but how you going to keep track of the buttons and pins~that is keeping them together.  Well what about this~

The buttons were still wet last night so that is why I'm posting today. I did add a picture of the buttons on top to yesterdays post , so it is all there.  Start to finish!

Craft Storage Ideas ~

Hi everyone!!! Today my scrappy space is being featured over on Craft Storage Ideas so I thought I would show you close up pictures of how I store and display some of my scrappy supplies. My markers, pens, paint pens are stored in old enamel ware coffee pots.  I have many of these types of enamel ware pots that hold wild flowers in the Spring:):)

Old salt & pepper shakers ( missing a pair) are great for storing glitter in, and it looks pretty ( fancy) too!!!

I love storing and displaying items in old large metal bowls, so for now this is where my mini albums go.

This is my button center, an old muffin tin.  The metal stand in the back, with the bank name on it, used to hold the deposit slips at the bank desk~I use it for my Glubers.

This old soda bottle holds my Dew Drops.

This is a chest of drawers made from a fruit crate.  It is one of my favorite finds.  It holds my Jenni Bowlin, Tim Holtz and 7Gypsies supplies.

A peek inside~

This is an old card file~I store my Epiphany Crafts supplies and extra small pieces of trim in these drawers.

Old lunch pail that I dolled up to hold my mini alpha's.

A peek inside~

This is an old lazy Susan ( I have had it 10 years or more). Great for paints and mists that I use often.

This is some kind of old carpenter's box~I use it for mists, paint dabblers, H2O's water colors and alcohol inks.  It really is nice to have it all together, right at my finger tips.
